Celebs wax and wain

For a year, Boris Johnson has stood, unmoving, with a fixed gaze, outside the front door of 10 Downing Street. We are not talking about reality, of course, but about that parallel world of Madame Tussauds. David Cameron, though, was put into “storage” – against what eventuality, it is not easy to say. Perhaps he might return to the first ranks of celebrity as the Ned Kelly of Oxfordshire or by his children marrying into the Royal family. In any case, we report today that the waxworks has finished its model of Theresa May. With the famous always on television, it is hard to know why people go to see their wax equivalents – yet go they do, and even queue for it. Perhaps it is to take selfies. If so, all those ordinary people Mrs May met during the election (presuming they snapped away then) will have saved the £29 a head entrance fee.
